It has been a little while since I had to try and customize anything with openSUSE. I was going though some old docs I had with 11.4 and with 12.3 it appears a lot has changed. I am trying to disable the ctrl-alt-backspace logout “feature” and also the ability to switch to a different virtual, alt + Fx.
This is what I had before in /etc/X11/xorg.conf but it doesn’t appear to work these days. Also the /etc/inittab file just has my boot runlevel value.

yep, from 11.4 to 12.3 is a LOT of substantial changes…

open YaST [note these instructions may not be exact for your
version–i don’t have a 12.3 here to look at], go Security & Users

resultant new window pane, click to highlight “Boot Settings” (on

Alt + Del” to be what you want… (mine is set to “Ignore” as the
Divinity intended)

that is a systemd thing, someone else will have to help you with that…
Those options do still work. But it’s spelt “Option” not “Options”.
But the preferred way nowadays is to remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf (although it is still used if available), and create a file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/01-serverflags.conf (the exact name doesn’t really matter) with the following content:
/etc/inittab isn’t used anymore. You can just remove it. (But it is needed for YaST->System->Runlevel Editor to work)
The default “runlevel” (systemd calls them targets) is now set via the symlink /etc/systemd/system/default.target.
